The Actor's Test

The Actor's Test is something done by many Theatre students. To do the Actor's test, you first need two Actors, same sex, opposite sex, doesn't matter. The point of the Actor's test is to see how long each person can last with their faces positioned close enough to kiss without making contact. The loser is usually the first to freak out.

Child Actor Syndrome

Child Actor Syndrome describes the medical condition of former child stars who are used to being treated like royalty and can't adjust being a normal adult later in life and freak out when faced with any tiny life problem. Being a child star describes how most women under age 25 live, with validation and coddling on all sides, no ability to work hard in anything, and a constant desire to be in the spotlight. This later develops into early stages of Child Actor Syndrome around age 23 or 24.

Socratic Method-Actor

The practice of answering every question you are asked with a repetitive question or statement, whether it makes sense to or not.

It is practiced widely in the stoner world and has it's roots with Tommy Chong from the Cheech and Chong movies and from his time on That 70's Show.

This is based on the basic belief that Socrates is the father of modern thought and that his philosophic teachings were based upon answering a student's question with a probing question in order to get the student to realize their own answer.

Only in this case it serves as a comedic outlet while you are impaired by pot or alcohol.
Tommy Chong is a Socratic Method-Actor since he can answer any question with the same question and make it funny.

Me: What are you doing here?
Tommy Chong: What are YOU doing here?

Me: Why are you smiling?
Tommy Chong: Why are YOU smiling?

Me: Are you stoned?
Tommy Chong: Are YOU stoned?

Me: What are you doing in Mexico?
Tommy Chong: What are YOU doing in Mexico?
